This tastes like a piña colada. It’s all that buttery and creamy coconut goodness mixed with the candied-sweet pineapple flavouring.

I haven’t figured out yet if it resembles a virgin mocktail or the real deal. The Indian black tea base almost has a molasses caramel thing going on, which makes me think rum, but that could be wishful thinking. Only time will tell!

Flavors: Butter, Coconut, Molasses, Pineapple, Tropical

I like this one, but in my opinion, the base needs a bit more kapow to make the tea stellar. I tend to add this one with its bright pineapple to my tropical blends that need a little extra fiesta to perk them up.

Yeah, I made a big pot of it last night, and I thought the base was ok at first but as I progressed through the pot I was wishing it had more presence. Mixing it in to other teas is a great idea.

So far I love the flavouring but I’ll have to give that time. I think I’m in shock from acquiring fresh blends; they all smell so lush compared to my old teas..

And that’s how we end up buying all the teas all the time. :)

I started my Steepster loose leaf adventure back in 2012. I can’t say I’m completely new anymore, but I still view oolong as a magical, extraterrestrial creature that unfurls in water.

Subjective Rating System 3.0:

90-100: My absolute favourite tea. I’ll impulsively buy in large quantities and hoard like a dragon.

85-89: A favourite tea. I’ll try to keep this one around when it’s practical.

76-84: A good tea, but not one I’m likely to order again.

70-75: Alright, but I may have a few problems with quality, consistency, ingredient chemistry and/or personal preferences.

50-69: Average to mediocre cup.

11-49: Varying levels of undrinkable tea. I don’t give a lot of these ratings out, since I tend to grab tea I know will appeal to me.

1-10: Nightmare tea from the chaos realms. This tea is the embodiment of the primordial swamp, the unholy abomination that is a chimera. It’s very gross and I’m almost positive it doesn’t exist.
